I feel like a character in a fairytale who made a wish that came true in a way they didn't expect. Aways wanted to be a writer. Didn't think it would mean writing whitepapers about insurance for the aviation industry.

Any wholesale property marketing brokers here? I’ve been feeling kind of overworked & kind of exploited lately… mostly due to my people pleasing personality and not being able to say no. I am working on at least 10-20 new business accounts and another 10-20 renewals each month. Revenue on the renewals alone are around $100-200k per month. On top of marketing, I also have to service a few larger accounts that are difficult. My salary is in the $70k range and I feel it’s a bit on the low end…

Job base salary presented by HR during screening interview was $130-$145k. I have 3-5 years more experience and more education compared to the posting requirements (BA required, I have a MS). I love the position and what it entails, but was hoping to reach $150-$160 base salary. If offered the position, is this a reasonable ask? This is for big pharma, data analytics in New England.

If you work at a small agency in NYC, could you tell me what your monthly health insurance premiums are for families? I'm at a small agency in NYC and the health benefits for a family are almost prohibitively expensive, ~1,500/mo with a high deductible. Would love to know if we're competitive or not and if not, share that info with our HR and bosses.

What’s your agency’s hook?

I’m starting a new offering from the ground floor - no existing social clients or work. I’ll be walking into meetings with clients who know me from other agencies, where our hook was “we’re fan-first marketers” or “we are the most premium creative shop in our industry”.

I’m working on my new hook, but would love to hear yours.
